TUTORIAL SCHEDULE
1.

The tutorial section numbers and corresponding times and locations are given below.

2.

The tutorials will commence the week of January 13th 2014. There will be no tutorials during the first
week of classes.

3.

Students are expected to attend each and every one of the 12 tutorials, solve each Tutorial
Problem Set (open book), and submit each Tutorial Problem Set (which will be marked by the TAs).
The marked problem sets will be returned the following week at the end of the tutorial.

4.

Students must bring their text book(s) with them for the open book Tutorial Problem Set. (A
Formula Sheet will not be provided.)

5.

Each tutorial will be 1 hour in length.

Tutorial Program
1. All students are required to attend their respective tutorial sections, no exceptions. Do Not Switch
Tutorial Sections!
2. All students are expected to solve the assigned problems prior to coming to the tutorials. Reading
through the additional specified review problems is also recommended.
3. During each weekly tutorial, the TAs will handout a Tutorial Problem Set that students are required to
solve and hand-in at the end of the tutorial hour. The TAs will only assist by answering conceptual
questions and providing hints as appropriate. Students are more than welcome to discuss with TAs, but
should not completely rely on TAs to help solve the Problem Set.
4. Students will work individually and each student will submit a Tutorial Problem Set for marking.
Textbook and any handouts are allowed during the tutorial section.
5. In order to succeed in this course, solving the assigned problems and attending the tutorials is
essential. Practicing to solve as many problems as possible is the key to success.

STUDY POINTERS

Jan-Apr 2014

Studying
Effective studying consists of taking lecture notes, active reading of the primary reading material, tutorial
attendance and note taking, and solving various exercises on your own. Begin studying your lecture notes by
reviewing the lecture outlines. Ask yourself questions about the material; for example, ask yourself to provide
definitions, to summarize the purpose, method and results of studies.
Read the chapter "in chunks". The size of these chunks should be determined by natural breaks in the
text, and by your ability to assimilate the material being read. Make brief notes in the margins of the text as
necessary. It is inadvisable to make extensive notes from the textbook. However, it is helpful to make one- or twopage summary notes per chapter showing the major headings and key concepts.

Note-Taking in Lectures
If you can, read all the relevant text material before attending the lectures on a given topic. Much of
learning involves discovering how new information relates to knowledge you already possess. The more you
know about a particular subject the easier it is to use new information to expand your current knowledge basis.
If you read the relevant text chapters before you attend the lectures on a particular topic, you will learn more
from the lectures and you will be able to take better notes. Your familiarity with the key concepts and major
theories in a specific area will help you judge what is important in a lecture. Review your lecture notes soon
after each lecture and proceed to read and study the required text.

Problems

Solving assigned problems is absolutely essential in developing a complete understanding of the concepts
introduced in the lectures and corresponding chapters/sections.

The term tests and final exam are largely based on the assigned problems as well as conceptual/definition
type questions to test your grasp of the subject matter.

Please take advantage of the tutorials to clarify issues you do not understand. Do this as questions arise
rather than wait until just before a test or exam. Ask specific questions on how to solve a given problem,
rather than What is the answer to question 5?
